Bandwidth Sharing with Heterogeneous Service Requirements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a system with two heterogeneous traffic classes. The users from both classes randomly generate service requests, one class having light-tailed properties, the other one exhibiting heavy-tailed characteristics. The heterogeneity in service requirements reflects the extreme variability in flow sizes observed in the Internet, with a vast majority of small transfers (‘mice’) and a limited number of exceptionally large flows (‘elephants’). The active traffic flows share the available bandwidth in a Processor-Sharing (PS) fashion. The PS discipline has emerged as a natural paradigm for modeling the flow-level performance of bandwidth-sharing protocols like TCP. The number of simultaneously active traffic flows is limited by a threshold on the maximum system occupancy. We obtain the exact asymptotics of the transfer delays incurred by the users from the light-tailed class. The results show that the threshold mechanism significantly reduces the detrimental performance impact of the heavy-tailed class. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K25 (primary), 68M20, 90B18, 90B22 (secondary)

Jointly power and bandwidth allocation for a heterogeneous satellite network
Due to lack of resources such as transmission power and bandwidth in satellite systems, resource allocation problem is a very important challenge. Nowadays, new heterogeneous network includes one or more satellites besides terrestrial infrastructure, so that it is considered that each satellite has multi-beam to increase capacity. This type of structure is suitable for a new generation of commu...
متن کاملResource-aware and quality-fair video-streaming using multiple adaptive TCP connections
In this paper, we present a resource-aware and quality-fair video content sharing system. When a video sharing server has insufficient uplink bandwidth and needs to serve multiple video content sharing services via streaming or downloading to other client peers using TCP transport, each service shares the limited uplink bandwidth equitably, due to the fair sharing characteristics inherent in TC...
متن کاملInvestigation of Bandwidth Allocation Based on Rat Selection in a Wireless Heterogeneous Network for Smart Home Application
Smart homes have gained a lot of attention in recent years. People are looking forward to receiving an opportunistic network, where they can gather communication devices within a wireless heterogeneous network. The most important issue in a wireless heterogeneous network is to manage bandwidth, due to the scarcity of this resource in wireless links, compared to wired networks. Bandwidth managem...
متن کاملResource Management in Wide-Area ATM Networks using Effective Bandwidths
This paper is principally concerned with resource allocation for connections tolerating statistical quality of service (QoS) guarantees in a public wide-area ATM network. Our aim is to sketch a framework, based on eeective bandwidths, for call admission schemes that are sensitive to individual QoS requirements and account for statistical multiplexing. We begin by describing recent results appro...
